The Dream  
Under a waning moon, in a dark and eerie landscape, a lost child stands with her faithful dog. She gazes up fearfully at the moon, remembering terrifying stories of a Moon Witch who plays cruel tricks on those lost in the night. She raises her hands, as if in prayer, and hopes that she will be saved and guided through this nightmare. Across a moat of turgid water, inhabited perhaps by fearsome things, she suddenly sees the turrets of her castle home. But the drawbridge is up, the gates are locked, and no one seems to hear her cries. Has the Moon Witch's magic barred her way home? Just as the child is about to succumb to overwhelming feelings of despair, danger, and the sadness born of longing for home and family, the Moon beams out more strongly from behind the clouds, suddenly appearing warm yet pensive. The Moon is crying because she has been so wrongly thought to be a malicious Moon Witch. Tears from this pale-faced goddess fall into the water and suddenly the land swells up higher than the moat and the gate surrounding the castle. The child clearly sees the way home as she gives thanks to the Moon.

The Awakening  
This is the darkness before the dawn. You must separate false illusions from reality. Even though the path may seem frightening and treacherous, you need not fear the mysterious unknown. Your intuition can guide you to hidden opportunities. Remember to save your energies for the challenges ahead and not squander them on anxious worrying.

The Enchantment  
Outside, under a waning moon, visualize a circle of protective light around yourself as you stand by a body of water. Hold a black stone in your hands. Concentrate and project a specific fear of yours into this stone. Then strongly hurl it out of your circle of light into a pond, lake, stream or ocean as you chant: "With this stone, fear be banished. Into water, it has vanished."
